Not quite clear why this was flagged to death, but I vouched for it as it seemed a reasonable response to the request.

I read this piece ages ago but stupidly forgot to save it. Every once in a while I'd try to find it again but I could never remember enough specific details, so thank you for posting this so I can finally read it again and save it!

Recommend reading this piece: http://hintjens.com/blog:115
for some context, and because it's excellent.
Glad to see another update from Pieter, I hope he finds his way out of limbo, preferably healthy.

Can anyone recommend some specific books to look at? This seems like a great treasure trove but as a beginner to art appreciation I don't have much of an idea of where to start.

Wow I'd forgotten about AHK. Thanks for reminding me!

The main reason I use Winamp is because it has global keyboard shortcuts for controlling playback. I'm not sure if any other media players have that, if anyone knows of one that does I would love to know.

I had the same thing happen with Hebrew, 3 free wins with the same clip.

No I feel the same way at age 21. It's quite hard to follow the quick-cutting nature of most videos. The ones I tend to like the most are comedy videos that have really quick setups and punchlines.

Absolutely, the soundtrack alone is worth the playthrough. Here's a link to the studio's soundcloud which has the soundtrack up at what I think is a better quality than youtube is offering.

(be warned it autoplays at quite a high volume)

I can't recommend Hotline Miami enough. Excellent game. Fast-paced action, interesting story, and it feels like you're playing through a fever dream.

The soundtrack is incredible, but sadly it looks as though it's not included.

I really love the music and audio from the trailer video. The gameplay and art style looks great too. I'll be buying this in a couple of days once my exams are over. Congratulations on shipping!

I'm sorry but lumping in Harry Potter along with "popular trash" such as Twilight and 50 Shades of Grey is shamefully dismissive.
Harry Potter is a wonderful series that brought the magic of reading and exploring imaginative worlds to countless children around the world.
Hardly "trash" as you characterized it.

I used to have this same problem. I'd get called twice a day by the same company, and if I picked up, they would just hang up the phone. Eventually I got tired of this so when I picked up one of their calls, I opened with "Hi, PizzaPizza here, may I take your order please?"
After that they never called again.
